Winchester USA 22 LR 36gr CPHP 22LR555HP Overview

Winchester USA 22 LR 36 grain copper-plated hollow point 22LR555HP ammo pairs the familiar high-velocity sporting cartridge with a 555-round bulk box. Its plated, open-nose projectile is intended for rimfire practice and appropriate small-game hunting, giving this older USA configuration the same basic loading characteristics as Winchester's other 36-grain hollow-point packages.

Winchester rates the cartridge at 1,280 fps, a figure also printed on historical 555-round packaging bearing this exact product code. The copper-plated bullet retains the company's established sporting profile; the 555-round quantity identifies the package rather than a distinct ballistic formulation. That distinction is useful when comparing older Winchester bulk boxes with later 222-, 333-, and 525-round versions.

Winchester USA 22 LR Key Features

• 555-Round Bulk Box: The historical USA package is identified by product number 22LR555HP.
• Copper-Plated Hollow Point: The 36-grain bullet features plating and an open nose for sporting use.
• High-Velocity Loading: The specified muzzle velocity is 1,280 fps.

Winchester M-22 22 LR 40gr CPRN S22LRT Overview

Winchester M-22 22 LR 40 grain copper-plated round nose S22LRT ammo was developed for modern sporting rifles chambered in 22 LR, particularly those using high-capacity magazines. Its round-nose projectile is shaped for consistent feeding, and the 1,000-round package contains two 500-round cartons of the same loading.

Introduced in 2011, M-22 combines a 1,255 fps factory muzzle rating with clean-burning propellant and non-corrosive priming. Winchester designed the cartridge around the repeated feeding demands of semiautomatic rimfire rifles rather than a specialized expanding hunting bullet. Its 40-grain plated projectile also provides a conventional target profile for regular practice.

Winchester M-22 22 LR Key Features

• Modern Sporting Rifle Design: The round-nose profile was developed for feeding through high-capacity rimfire magazines.
• M-22 Loading: Winchester specifies a muzzle velocity of 1,255 fps.
• Bulk Cartons: The 1,000-round package consists of two 500-round cartons.

Winchester Varmint HV 17 HMR 17gr V-Max S17HMR1 Overview

Winchester Varmint HV 17 HMR 17 grain V-Max polymer tip S17HMR1 ammo combines Hornady's pointed V-Max projectile with Winchester's high-velocity rimfire loading. The polymer tip helps initiate expansion in the thin-jacketed varmint bullet, while its streamlined nose supports the flatter trajectories associated with 17 HMR hunting ammunition.

Winchester lists a muzzle velocity of 2,550 fps and 245 foot-pounds of energy, with 2,016 fps and 153 foot-pounds remaining at 100 yards in its 2020 ballistic tables. Those figures make the 50-round Varmint HV offering particularly relevant to rifle sight-in and small-varmint shooting where downrange performance matters as much as muzzle speed.

Winchester Varmint HV 17 HMR Key Features

• V-Max Bullet: A 17-grain polymer-tipped projectile is designed for varmint expansion.
• Muzzle Ballistics: Winchester specifies 2,550 fps and 245 foot-pounds of energy.
• 100-Yard Velocity: The published ballistic table lists 2,016 fps at 100 yards.

Winchester Varmint LF 22 WMR 25gr Polymer Tip X22MHLF Overview

Winchester Varmint LF 22 WMR 25 grain polymer tip X22MHLF ammo combines a lightweight lead-free bullet with the larger 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire case. Its copper-and-polymer construction provides an alternative to lead-core varmint bullets, while the 25-grain weight sets it apart from the conventional 30- and 40-grain magnum-rimfire hunting loads.

At the workbook's 2,100 fps muzzle rating, Winchester's ballistic tables show 245 foot-pounds of energy, dropping to 1,280 fps and 91 foot-pounds at 100 yards. The figures illustrate how quickly this light projectile sheds velocity at distance. The load is packaged in a 50-round box.

Winchester Varmint LF 22 WMR Key Features

• Lead-Free Projectile: The 25-grain polymer-tipped bullet uses copper-based construction.
• Muzzle Energy: Winchester lists 245 foot-pounds for this 22 WMR loading.
• 100-Yard Ballistics: The published figures are 1,280 fps and 91 foot-pounds.

Winchester Varmint HV 22 WMR 30gr V-Max S22M2PT Overview

Winchester Varmint HV 22 WMR 30 grain V-Max polymer tip S22M2PT ammo uses Hornady's sharply pointed V-Max projectile in a magnum-rimfire hunting load. Its polymer tip and streamlined profile distinguish it from Winchester's jacketed hollow-point Varmint HV cartridge, giving the two 30-grain offerings different bullet designs despite identical factory muzzle speeds.

Both start at 2,250 fps, but Winchester's ballistic tables list 1,490 fps at 100 yards for the V-Max cartridge compared with 1,450 fps for the hollow-point version. The tipped bullet also retains a published 148 foot-pounds of energy at that distance. Winchester packages S22M2PT in a 50-round box.

Winchester Varmint HV 22 WMR Key Features

• V-Max Projectile: The 30-grain bullet incorporates a polymer tip for varmint hunting.
• 100-Yard Energy: Winchester lists 148 foot-pounds of retained energy for this loading.
• Muzzle Velocity: The factory rating is 2,250 fps.

Remington Thunderbolt 22 LR 40gr LRN 21238 Overview

Remington Thunderbolt 22 LR 40 grain lead round nose 21238 ammo uses an unplated solid-nose bullet in Remington’s longstanding recreational rimfire line. The traditional lead projectile and 1,255 fps loading make it a high-velocity option for paper targets and general plinking.

Remington’s ballistic table places Thunderbolt at 1,103 fps at 50 yards and 1,017 fps at 100 yards, with the factory loading supplied here in a 50-round box. Its simple round-nose profile is intended for conventional target use, rather than the controlled expansion sought from specialized hunting bullets.

Remington Thunderbolt 22 LR Key Features

• Lead Round Nose: The cartridge uses a traditional 40-grain unplated bullet.
• High-Velocity Rating: Excel lists a muzzle velocity of 1,255 fps.
• Downrange Velocity: Remington publishes 1,017 fps at 100 yards.

Remington Premier Magnum Rimfire 17 HMR AccuTip-V 28464 Overview

Remington Premier Magnum Rimfire 17 HMR 17 grain AccuTip-V polymer tip 28464 ammo uses a boat-tail, polymer-tipped varmint bullet engineered for a streamlined flight profile. The narrow tip provides a defined forward point while the bullet design is intended to expand on small varmints.

At 2,550 fps, the AccuTip-V loading produces a published 246 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Remington’s ballistic tables list 1,901 fps and 136 foot-pounds at 100 yards, figures that put the bullet’s retained performance in perspective beyond its muzzle rating. The 50-round box contains this 17 HMR-specific loading.

Remington Premier Magnum Rimfire 17 HMR Key Features

• AccuTip-V Bullet: The 17-grain projectile combines a polymer tip with a boat-tail profile.
• 100-Yard Ballistics: Remington lists 1,901 fps and 136 foot-pounds at 100 yards.
• Factory Muzzle Velocity: The published muzzle speed is 2,550 fps.

Fiocchi Performance Shooting Dynamics 22 LR 40gr CPRN 22FHVCRN Overview

Fiocchi Performance Shooting Dynamics 22 LR 40 grain copper-plated round nose 22FHVCRN ammo uses a conventional 40-grain, non-expanding bullet for practice and informal target shooting. Its rounded, plated projectile keeps the emphasis on reliable target-style construction rather than terminal expansion.

Rated at 1,250 fps, the cartridge belongs to Fiocchi’s high-velocity rimfire offerings. Copper plating separates the projectile from plain-lead target bullets, while the smooth nose provides a different profile from the 38-grain hollow point in the same family. It comes in a 50-round box.

Fiocchi Performance Shooting Dynamics 22 LR Key Features

• Copper-Plated Round Nose: The closed-nose projectile has a plated exterior and a traditional target profile.
• High-Velocity Loading: Fiocchi rates the 40-grain cartridge at 1,250 fps.
• 50-Round Box: The package contains the 22FHVCRN practice loading.
